Blogger Returns!

So two nights ago, Google decided to do a maintenance on Blogger.  They were a bit short on night crew staff though, so they hired some free-lance coders to do the work.

Trollestia, being the stellar deity that she is, recommended Derpy Hooves, and because you guys keep writing about how much of a silent genius she is, Google brought her on board without any sort of test.

Well needless to say, Derpy Hooves is in fact, not a genius.

She is actually really bad at coding.

So the maintenance was botched.

Luckily, the Great and Powerful Trixie took time out of her EXTREMELY important and always busy schedule to fly down to the Google HQ and fix it all for them.  Unfortunately it took her a day to get to the server room, because crowds of Google employees wanted to pet her PRISTINE mane and tail.   She literally had to wade through an armada of them.  The actual fixing process took the Great and Powerful Trixie less than a few minutes.

tl;dr)  Google done goofed and we lost ponies for a day.  15 hours worth of posts are gone, but will supposedly be brought back soonish, so I am not going to re-post them to avoid double posts.

tl;dr #2) Ghetto Dash Banner because trollestia is HORRIBLE LUCK


tl;dr #3) Big compilation posts incoming! 

tl:dr #4) Please go Re-vote on story upload posts!

Those were times of darkness...

...now it's time of Trixies!

I'm glad to hear this, since I thought there was something wrong with my computer.

Kill me, I'm a PONY said...

...unless Derpy went and turned the posts into muffins

Maybe Derpy is SUCH a genius, no modern computer is advanced enough to understand her. Maybe her code cannot be processed by any computer with fewer than 700 terabytes of RAM, running a version of Windows from the year 2200.

Not her fault you people are a bunch of cavemen.

Agnitio Ex Machina said...

Well, at least my fanfic got lots of attention that way, and yet a single $%&* wasn't given that day.

Just noticed some posts are being restored. Might be a continuing process.

@AnonymousA program that requires massive amounts of ram and incredibly advanced features to perform an already existing task is hardly genius.

I thought this was a prank by Trollestia.

FINALLY

I'm been wanting to comment on a few things, and couldn't all of yesterday D:

Sheepdog said...

Come on Seth, give poor Derpy her due. It was the sheer weight of bronydom that took down Google. And while Trixy is all great and powerful, Derpy was mostly done with the repairs by the time Trixy finished basking in the praise of her fans.

Muffinsforever said...

I think muffins were involved with this incident.

Oooooo. Nice Banner.

The banner? Why? Whhhhyyyyy?

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous To add on to my comment

It's pretty good though

Paperpony said...

Good thing I don't work at Google. I would have pet Trixie's pristine mane and tail for a week straight

@Agnitio Ex Machina
Comments on blogger went down before (or maybe right after) your story was posted on the blog. Nobody could comment on your story.

ActionScripter9109 said...

WOOT. Also, the banner is so wrong, but kind of funny too. :P

Anonymous said...

must be very hard to type code with hooves

Anonymous said...

Love the new banner! Also, yay.

Scribus Caballus said...

Was that 300 words? Was that Sethisto's TG&PT story submission? :p

Agnitio Ex Machina said...

You people only see the banner as wrong because you have sick minds. I see it as ponyplay...not sexual. Which is also why there are too many ponies.

Koyomi said...

Welcome Back!
And very nice Banner :3

l2unicorn :D. Obviously why trixie was better a coding!

Dash looks like she sees something she likes.

Like Spitfire's ass, lol. But still, maybe Pinkie is standing off-camera in front of Spitfire.

I'm so glad the comment button works again. Actually, them servers at google don't do windows. Also, I'm doubting the genius of using more resources then you have.

It's like sending 30600 words to a 300 word story contest.
Oh wait... didn't we do that?

Anonymous said...

so no pony this week the last 15 h no equestria daily this to much for my now post shipping ASAP :3

SyrinKitty said...

This would of course happen when I publish my first work of fiction ever in ten years. Curse you, Google! Curse you!!

Welcome back ED! It was getting depressing without you.

Sure sounds like Trixie propaganda to me.

I know the truth Trixie.

mbulsht said...

I actually like this banner.

Parasprites have eaten the internet tubes!

And so, Friday the 13th was spent entirely without ponies. Probably should have seen it coming, really :).

the (fallen) Princess Luna said...

Derpy is the penultimate pony in the field of Derpology.
She's just not qualified for coding and site/server manetenance.

Anonymous said...

Trixie actually sabotaged Derpy's coding, and then fixed it to look like the hero. Poor Derpy.

David said...

Is it bad that I actually like this banner?

Narwhals' Bend said...

I can't wait until I finish my Dashfire! I must finish before this banner is taken down! *goes off to write*

Anonymous said...

Is that what happened to Jack and the Ponies? I was one chapter away from finishing when Blogger Blooped on us...

Lucid!0oSwOEGDel said...

Soooo I shouldn't re-email you then?

Anonymous said...

Make sure to resubmit "Common Sky"


It vanished from the May 12th submissions and it was such a good story!

Anonymous said...

That's what you get for selling Equestria Daily to Microsoft !

the (fallen) Princess Luna said...

Yea, next time sell to Apple(jack).

Anonymous said...

Lies! All of it lies! Trixie is taking credit for what was obviously fixed by Derpy!

B-Man said...

So I'm not the only one who thinks that Dash is moments away from pouncing on Spitfire, right?

SyrinKitty said...

@Anonymous: I'm going to wait until this evening. If it looks like Google actually fully nuked it, I'll get Sethisto to re-post it.

Anonymous said...

So what does this mean for the 300 word submissions?

Old Kentucky Shark said...

This banner is amazing. Hey, think we could get The Great and Powerful Trixie to take a look at PSN?

Seconded! Not that I've read it yet, but I like Twilight/Luna fics and I didn't get a chance to.

ToonNinja said...

Naw, Derpy's just not good with computers.

Anonymous said...

and I just had the sequel to "calling the shots" ready too...

I guess y'all have to wait (or visit my fic list)

Anonymous said...

The posts still don't appear to be back yet...

I'm afraid of not being able to find them again; would it be possible to make a compilation of the posts that were briefly lost when they come back? I seem to remember about three fanfics I wanted to look at that are gone, and updates missing, like the Luna vs. The Microwave update which is gone.
